Families of passengers on downed Chicago chopper 'voluntarily discontinue' lawsuit

By Michael Tutton (CP) – 4 hours ago

Since then, one passenger's family was added to the suit, bringing the total to 16 families involved in the action.

The plaintiffs alleged the U.S. firms hadn't correctly indicated how long pilots could safely fly if oil leaked out of the helicopter's gearbox.

But in court documents filed on July 14, the Chicago aviation lawyer say they have "voluntarily discontinued" the lawsuit, "to engage in alternative dispute resolution before further litigation."
